After a successful stroll in the Berlin nightclub scene and internationally touring with multiple circus troupes, SOUKOU’s ‘nickname’ is a bumping, club track rife with musical expertise and healing ruminations.
Emerging from an impressive songwriting career, the honing of SOUKOU’s musical craft is self-evident from the track’s very opening notes. The somber beginning is quickly flipped from a melancholy narrative to an explosive whirl of a dance track. It’s a crisp conversion from suffering to thriving and it’s this brilliant reclamation that makes ‘nickname’ stand out.
If you’ve ever been ghosted and have had to re-guard your heart, ‘nickname’ is a stunningly seamless example of overcoming just such an obstacle and dancing your way through it.
SOUKOU has officially released her latest album, bloodline, this past September, exploring more themes of family, love, pain, and racism. If you enjoy intense musical explorations led by vocal and sonic perfection, SOUKOU is an artist you won’t want to miss.
